The Broncos promoted wide receiver Nathan Palmer to their active roster and signed guard Ryan Miller to their practice squad, the team announced Wednesday.

Palmer, a second-year player, spent the end of the 2013 season on Denver’s practice squad and appeared in four games for the Broncos this preseason. He was waived by the club Aug. 30, before being added to the practice squad the following day.

Miller, also in his second NFL season, competed in all four games for the Broncos this preseason before being waived Aug. 30. The former University of Colorado player played eight games as a rookie for the Cleveland Browns in 2012 after being selected by the Browns in the fifth round (160th overall) of the NFL draft.
